Application filed January-5, 1910. Serial No. 536,459.

4 ing and to extend the ends of said threads so that the outside of the fabric is covered with elastic o'rtions; Such a fabric may be employed or any purpose where a sliding of the fabric should be avoided for instance as garters, gun straps and the like.

My invention is fully shown on the accompanying drawing in which- Figure 1 is a veitical section through the fabric, Fig. 2 is a side view ofthesame, Fig. 3 is a top view.

According to my invention the fabric a is made of two layersli, a between which are interposed an suitable number of india rubber threads or -threads of any other elastic material, said threads may also be of any suitable thickness or sectional shape.

The threads are pr'ferably arranged alter nately as shown in ig. 3 and bound in the fabric by the weft threads in any desired manner. The threads are extending on the outer surface of the fabric, forming thereon slings as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 but said slings are cut away in such a man ner that the ends 0 extend over the surface of the fabric and pre fcrably the ends are cut oblong. The fabric is then covered with a large number of elastic portions whichjresist a sliding of the fabric on its support and this action will be still enlarged by the shape of the fabric which'assumes a slightly undulated form.

What I claim is:

1. As a new article of manufacture, a Woven fabric having lengths of rubber strands woven therein with the ends of the strands projecting from the surface of the fabric.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a woven fabric having a plurality of lengths of rubber strands woven therein with one end of each strand projecting from the surface of the fabric.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a woven fabric having a plurality of lengths of rubber strands woven therein with the greater length of each strand embedded in the fabric and a short end portion projecting from the surface of the fabric.

4. As a new article of manufacture, a fabric having a plurality of lengths of rubber strands secured thereto with the ends of said strands projecting from one surface of the fabric.

5. As a new article of manufacture, a woven fabric having aplurality of relatively short lengths of rubber strands woven therein with the central portions of each strand embedded in the fabric and both ends of each strand projecting from the surface thereof.

6. As a new article of manufacture, a woven fabric having a plurality of lengths of rubber strands secured thereto with the free ends of said strands projecting from one surface of the fabric in crossed. relation with respect to each other.

7. As a new article of manufacture, a woven fabric having a plurality of lengths of rubber strands secured thereto .with the free ends of said strands rojecting from one surface of the fabric, said strands being so disposed that the projecting free ends will be arranged in groups spaced apart from each other.

8. As a new article of manufacture, a piece of fabric having a plurality of ends of rubber strands projecting therefrom, the ends of the strands being cut at an angle to the plane of the fabric.

9. As a new article of nuiuufacture, a piece of fabric having a plurality of rows of short lengths of rubber strands woven therein, the rows being spaced apart to cause the ends of the strands of one row to overlap the ends of the next adjacent .row, the free ends of the strands projecting outwardly from the surface of the fabric.

10. As an uncle of manufacture, a piece ends' of the strands rejecting outwardly {)f fa'gric fiavingba pluraligy of rows ofhkshoyt from the face of the fa ric.
